Jean, Michael and Steph are three reluctant loners. Damaged and fearful of life, they cannot survive for much longer. A mixture of deceit, good luck and misfortune draws them together to Walden Manor, a secluded and gracious country house that promises sanctuary, freedom from impending destitution.
Out of an invented past they shape a beautiful present, full of hope and happiness. For the first time in their lives they lose their dread of the future. If their sense of safety is built on delusion, does it matter?
When the idyll is threatened, Jean, Michael and Steph discover that because their lives are now worth living they are also worth preserving. But at what cost?
'Half Broken Things' is a dark story, richly told, about love and our need for it: the damage done when we go too long without it, and what people might be driven to do in its name.
